2 Samuel 19:18-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸ They crossed at the ford to transport the king’s household and to do whatever the king requested.

When Shimei, the son of Gera, crossed the Jordan, he threw himself down before the king, ¹⁹ and he said: “I entreat my lord not to hold me guilty or to remember how shamefully I behaved on the day my lord the king departed from Jerusalem. I beg you not to hold my guilt against me. ²⁰ I humbly admit that I have sinned. Today I am the first of all the house of Joseph to come down to meet my lord the king.”
